New release: The Disciplinarian’s Daughter

I’m
thrilled to announce that my erotic Victorian romance, The Disciplinarian’s Daughter,
is part of the new Secrets Volume 31: Fantasies Fulfilled anthology released by
Red Sage Publishing.

Here’s
the blurb:

Only virgins
need apply…

In
sexually-repressed Victorian England, Dr. Trevor Markham is determined to prove
that the condition known as ‘female hysteria’ is simply a woman’s sexual
frustration. But when innocent Amelia Ashworth responds to his ad for a
scientific study of virgins, Trevor’s sexual experiments produce results
neither of their hearts expect.

A
little background on the story:

Victorian
England was a very sexually-repressed age. At one time, even table legs needed
to be covered, lest they remind the male species of women’s legs! And a glimpse
of an actual female ankle beneath a woman’s gown was considered scandalous.

Needless
to say, female sexual satisfaction was a very low priority during this time.
Sexual frustration among women – the irritability, short-temperedness, difficulty
sleeping, and other symptoms that can result – was considered to be a medical
condition which doctors called ‘female hysteria.’ In my story, doctor Trevor
Markham recognizes hysteria for what it truly is, and sets out on a noble
experiment to discover the toys and techniques women could use to satisfy
themselves if their husbands neglected or ignored this marital responsibility.
He just didn’t count on innocent Amelia Ashworth being the lady who responded to
his ad for a virgin volunteer…

In
real life, toward the end of the Victorian era – and with help from the advent
of electricity – Dr. Joseph Mortimer Granville patented the first
electromechanical vibrator around 1880. And women have been thanking him ever
since!

I
hope you’ll enjoy The Disciplinarian’s Daughter, which is the much-asked-for
sequel to my story, The Disciplinarian, in Secrets, Volume 15.
